Barbas Hats x The Rich Kid
Barbas Hats x The Rich Kid is the artist line from El Barbas — four snapbacks made with rapper Rich The Kid, from the first black-and-gold release to the Chrome Blackout edition. Sold-out drops tend to resurface on resale sites well above list, so this page is where each run lands when it’s available.

Chrome Blackout or Rich Forever?
Go Chrome Blackout if…
- You want the one piece in this line with chrome hardware
- You already own a Chrome Barbas cap and want the artist version
Go Rich Forever if…
- You want the slogan design most people associate with the collab
- You prefer embroidery-only — no metal, lighter on the head
Skate or Die sits between the two: graphic-heavy like Rich Forever, priced like the first release.
Every Barbas x Rich The Kid design, explained
Four releases so far. If you only know the name, this is the quickest way to tell them apart.
El Barbas X Rich The Kid
The first release of the collab — black cap, gold-tone artwork, the piece that started the line. The one to get if you want the original look.
First release
Rich Forever
Slogan embroidery across the front panel, clean black base. The most recognisable of the four and the one that sells through fastest.
Fastest seller
Chrome Blackout
All-black fabric with chrome-plated detailing — the only Rich The Kid design with a metal finish. Resale listings for this one run the highest.
Chrome finish
Skate or Die
Graphic-led design with the "Skate or Die" motif. Louder than Rich Forever, less flash than Blackout — the middle ground of the line.
Graphic edition
Before you order
Is "Barbas Rich Tha Kid" the same thing?
Yes — resale listings often spell it "Rich Tha Kid". It refers to the same Barbas Hats x Rich The Kid line shown here.
How is this different from the CT collab?
Different partner, different artwork. The Barbas Hats x CT collection is star-and-galaxy based with 24K gold options; the Rich The Kid line is slogan and graphic driven, with chrome on one piece.
Which one holds value best?
Going by what sold-out pieces fetch on resale, Chrome Blackout and the first release lead. Rich Forever restocks more often, so it's easier to find at list price.
